On Monday, the Bobcat Course had its morning closure. During that time numerous tasks were completed. Greens were vented with needle tines then rolled and mowed. A soil amendment was made after that.
The needle tining, as shown above, is nothing more than a very light aeration. It allows bad gases in the soil to escape and water to penetrate the canopy better. In other words, it just makes everything we do more efficient and the greens healhier.
After aerating the greens they are then rolled. There is practically no disruption to play after this process is completed.
The last thing we do to prep the greens for the days play is mowing them as you see in the background here.
